Woman shares sweet snap of her grandma as her bridesmaid

Asking your best friend to stand up with you on your wedding day is a special moment for any bride-to-be, but for one woman it was even more magical – because her future bridesmaid was none other than her grandmother...

Amanda Scott's 92-year-old grandma, May Smith, was understandably 'over the moon' to be asked to play such a big part in her granddaughter's wedding day, as the bride revealed in a post shared on the charity Age UK's Facebook page.

Accompanying the post was an adorable snap of the two ladies together on Amanda's big day, which only serves to confirm how 'incredibly strong' their relationship is, as Stylist reports.

In the post, Amanda touchingly admits that, for her, there was no other possible choice than her beloved granny. 'Out of everyone, she was the best of my bridesmaids! She's just a breath of fresh air in my life. She's my best friend. I tell her everything,' she says.

Going on to explain what an incredible influence May has had on her life, Amanda adds: 'She really is just my inspiration. She's one of the best people I've ever met, I want to be just like her.'

Sharing the secret to granny's lasting energy at the impressive age of 92, Amanda told Age UK that May is a 'remarkable person who leads a very active lifestyle', involving everything from volunteering for Meals on Wheels to swimming a mile each week at the local pool.
